Dead Girls Walking by Sami Ellis

3.0

What a ride.

Lots of blood, murder and a few too many characters. 

I had a hard time keeping track of who was who and what role everyone played in the camp. I think reading the audiobook helped a little with this because the narrator (Tamika Katon-Donegal) had a distinct voice for each character. 

Sometimes with slasher/thriller novels I get a little bored waiting around for something bloody to happen, this book didn’t seem to have that problem. I was able to keep up with the action and understand most of what was happening but the plot almost lost me towards the end. It seemed to drag on when it felt like things were starting to wrap up.

Temple is difficult to get along with and doesn’t want to interact with the camp goers at all. Because of this we don't learn much about the others, so when the gore started I didn’t really know who to worry about. Temple has EVERY reason to be the way she is, I just wish we had a few less characters so we can get to know everyone a bit more. 

I was a bit confused about everyone's ages as they all seem to be the same age? Temple signs up as a counsellor but they’re ALL teenagers? 

Loved the snippets we got in between chapters. Quotes from books, recordings from Temple’s fasthers sentencing, memories of her past, etc.

Rating: Not bad = I enjoyed some of it. 3 stars.
